You need to download the USB drivers. Can't remember what they are called now, but you need to search for something like "serial to usb drivers".

VAG-COM comes with (real) USB drivers for the genuine Ross-Tech interfaces, but if you are using a 3rd party interface your have to (as Blue Thunder already described) find the appropriate drivers yourself. Usually they come with your 3rd party hardware or the seller gives you a download location, if in doubt just contact the seller - he should know.
